my experience on stage

I enjoyed the formal wear portion of the pageant the most. I enjoyed getting dressed up and having an opportunity to share about what makes me unique.

I enjoyed meeting new people but I have to say the most rewarding experience was hearing my name and contestant number called as the winner. I was surprised and so proud of myself. I also realized how proud it made my parents. The expression on my mom's face was priceless. 

I would advise future contestants to not let anything hold them back, especially fear. Be yourself, enjoy the process, meet people and have fun. 

For those in future pageants, I send blessings your way and wish you the best of luck. You are a winner!!
